Wish I could see rain. What it like?
EVERITT
What's what like?
HAROLD
Rain--rain.
ALICE
Like shower baths.
HAROLD
Oh. Mother, tell me story about rain. I _like_ rain! (_Everitt feels about
for his cigar case. A letter falls from his pocket which he picks up
hurriedly_)
EVERITT
I'm going for a cigar.
WALTER
It's like being in a submarine!
HAROLD
Mother, tell me story!
MRS. EVERITT
Once upon a time--
WALTER
I'm going out for a minute.
ALICE
I wish....
HAROLD
Once on a time!
MRS. EVERITT
Oh, yes. Once there was a little girl who lived in the country.
HAROLD
What country?
MRS. EVERITT
A country something like this. She and her mother lived in a little house
beside a brook. The little girl loved to listen to the brook outside her
window at night. One day she asked her mother where the brook went to. She
didn't want _her_ brook to run away. And what do you suppose her mother
said?
HAROLD
What her mother say?
MRS. EVERITT
She said the brook didn't really run away, when it got out of sight across
the fields it turned into rain. So then the little girl was glad whenever
it rained, because she knew it was the little brook coming back to her.
HAROLD
Oh. And is _this_ rain the brook coming back? The little girl's brook?
MRS. EVERITT
